What part is cringe worthy? Arte was being honest. Trump probably knows he's got supporters like stars like Rendon, Pujols and maybe even Trout on the team, but probably isn't up on their place in the standings.

Biden received a bribe..., uh, campaign contribution of $100 million dollars from a billionaire worth 20 times as much as Moreno. If you think the Democratic party is the party of the down trodden maybe you should look up their main contributors and how much money is invested in their outcomes after the election. 

I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. I am an independent...always have been.  Both parties disgust me but in different ways.

What's cringe was Arte having to admit that the team isn't doing well despite being talked up by Trump. For someone who doesn't follow baseball watching this you would think that our team was a success up until Arte's comment.

I love how obviously clear it is that Trump knows next to nothing about the Angels.

Also, is that Gubi on the left?

I'm no fan of Trump, but geezuz.  The comments.  

I'm getting hungry.  I'm gonna do some research on who owns the place I'm going to patronize... who they support politically, what their religious beliefs are,  which position their toilet paper hangs.   

It is a fruitless exercise to base buying decisions on who owns the company that produces the product you're purchasing.

Same, I wish he knew the ins and outs of the angels bullpen.

The Angels bullpen has similar turnover rates to his administration, so he'd be quite familiar. The similarities end though because no former Angels reliever has been charged with a federal crime.

"Mr. President, can you get us in on some of that federal disaster funding? Call the team a distressed corporation or something? We need a lot of help."

Its funny how as long as its their views, people are OK with painting shit on fields and singing kumbaya arms locked on the field or shitting on the anthem waving antifa flags at MLS games, and all myriad of whatever asinine behaviors these athletes have done... but OMG the minute a player or the owner exorcises his right to an opinion fans hit the parking lot, they must be crushed and destroyed, cancel culture in effect.

You know what, see ya, dont let the door hit that ass on the way out.  All of you that supported this shit till now and told me how wrong i was for saying it has no place in sport when what you were really saying its that its fine as long as it it your views.  

There a word for that, hypocrites.

For those i wont see anymore...

To an extent, I agree.  Especially if it's a large company.  

I buy a ton of crap from Amazon.  I also try to support small business.  If an owner of a small business is a dick to me, I'm out.   If they like the Dodgers... who cares.  There's grey area, too. 

Point is, people claiming to be Angels fans saw this video clip and claimed they were done being Angels fans.  That's silly.

Does this count in the category of keeping politics out of sports or is it just different enough because Arte is the owner and not a player so we can give it a pass?

Hard to keep up with both sides mental gymnastics these days.

Arte is now firmly on the side of pro-force sterilization of immigrant women.

I can't say if the buying decision is worth it until I consult with the frozen concentrated orange juice market.

I would if I was a billionaire and only cared about money. However, since I am not a billionaire and believe that John McCain is a true hero, Arte can go fuck himself.

McCain certainly had a legit claim his “war hero” status.

And then he used it, for decades, as cover to be an absolute piece of shit, selfish, corrupt, establishment lying political stooge to grow his own personal power and wealth.

Was McCain a war hero or a corrupt, political establishment fuck?

Both.  And being the war hero gave him a golden ticket to be the other.

I will never say he wasn’t a war hero.  But I will be damned if I then lie and pretend he didn’t use that status as cover to get away with being pure garbage that exploited his political positions for his own personal greed.

To John McCain:  Thank you.  And fuck you.

The billionaire should skip the middle man and send their money directly to whinny progressives so they can live a lifestyle they are entitled to.
